I'm facing a family reunification petition. My hearing is scheduled for October, and the filing fees and the lawyer's retainer come to $700. I have been told by three legal-aid offices that their waiting list is longer than my deadline. I have all of my paperwork ready, and my caseworker at Saket Welcome Centre has confirmed that my case is valid. If I miss the deadline I could lose my right to stay with my family and my job. My children were born here and this is the only home they know. I'll share any non-sensitive updates as the case moves along. The money goes to the immigration attorney's trust account and the court filing office. I'll upload receipts with sensitive details removed. Where the $700 goes: • Attorney retainer: $560 • Filing and biometrics fees: $90 • Certified translations and document copies: $50 Thank you so much. - Tushar

        Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. attorney retainer comes first ($560) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Ask me anything else.
